The F-150 remains America’s favorite pickup truck, and for a good reason. Class-leading towing capacity, a roomy cabin, and cutting-edge tech set it apart from the competition. Ford’s new suite of driver-assist technologies takes the F-150 from class leader to an example of supreme engineering enhanced through brilliant software and hardware.
Safety, Comfort, and Ease of Use
Ford Co-Pilot360 is Ford’s newest suite of driver-assist tech designed to compensate for typical conditions on today’s increasingly congested roads. The tech rolled out in late 2018 and is currently standard on the entire Ford fleet.
The suite boasts several technologies that work in combination to help drivers anticipate, react, and maneuver expertly in unsafe, congested, or unpredictable driving scenarios.
Blind Spots and Poor Visibility
Optimal visibility is essential when driving at any time of day. Busy roads, inclement weather, and nighttime driving present unique challenges. To give you an advantage, your Ford F150 in Shorewood, IL, comes equipped with the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Trailer Coverage.
BLIS with Trailer Coverage alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot, including those behind your trailer. It also detects vehicles crossing behind you as you back out of driveways or parking spots.
To combat poor visibility, there are Auto High-Beam Headlamps. Forget about manually toggling between low and high beams. The new Ford F150 detects other vehicles’ lights behind and ahead of you, toggling automatically between low and high beams.
Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Braking
Pre-collision Assist provides audio and visual warnings when a strategically positioned camera detects a potential collision. If the driver’s reflexes are less than adequate, the system automatically engages brakes as a last resort. The capability works to prevent accidents on the road or in the parking lot if a given driver is tired, distracted, or not up to par for any reason.
You can experience these and more driver-assist technologies in person with a test drive at Ron Tirapelli Ford, Inc., the leading dealer for the Ford F150 in Shorewood, IL. Visit www.RonTirapelliFord.com today to find out more.
